Dear Mr, Burns:
Thank you for your letter of June 2, 1967 to Mayor Ivan Allen, Jr.
concerning the conditions of the restrooms at Piedmont Park during the
recent Arts Festival.
Each year before the Arts Festival is held, we secure special per-
mission from the City Comptroller to work on an overtime basis, one laborer
to maintain the men's restroom, and one park matron to maintain the ladies’
restroom, Even with this added precaution, the heavy use of both of these
facilities at times makes the conditions less than absolutely acceptable,
In addition, the physical facilities are old and worn out. Only recently,
the first federal assistance became available for the renovation of our
older parks such as Piedmont, Chastain, Adems, etc. We hope to do extensive
beautification and repair work to these major park facilities in the very
near future. However, at the present time, there are no funds specifically
earmarked for the restoration of the Concession Building at Piedmont Park.
The Piedmont Sgimming Pool, along with four large similar swimming facilities
are not filted, and therefore, do not meet the current Fulton County Health
Department's regulations. It would be impractical for us, from an engineer-
ing viewpoint, for wa to attempt to filter these large bodies of water and
we are, therefore, entertaining the idea in our five year capital improve-~-
ment program of replacing these fecilities. If funds were available, we
would be somewhat reluctant to completely restore the existing Concession
Building at Piedmont Park. However, I can assure you that we will do the
necessary work to the existing restrooms within the cepacity of our general
budget, and assuring you of our sincere appreciation for your interest in
this matter, I am
Cordially,
General Manager of
Parks and Recreation
